The 'Big Dumper' was named the starting catcher for the American League All-Star team this week, but he was more concerned about team goals than individual achievement.

Raleigh now has 35 homers on the season entering Sunday's series home finale against the Pirates. He's now tied with Seattle legend Ken Griffey Jr. for the most home runs in Mariners' franchise history before the All-Star break with 35. "Junior" also had 35 homers before the break back in 1998.

A summer of slams continued for Mariners All-Star catcher Cal Raleigh as he hit two home runs off Pittsburgh starter Bailey Falter in a 6-0 Seattle victory over the Pirates on Friday. The homers gave Raleigh a new career-high with 35.
